Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

A friend's brother...

A friend of mine's brother coaches college sports. The nature of that job means getting 'let go' every 3-5 years, always around the holidays. It's a brutal job. My friend lost their job a few years back and called her brother for advice. She told me this...

Routine is key. You're going to want to spend every moment of every day looking for your next job, fight that urge. Your new job is finding your best job. To be your best, you need rest, you need down time, you need exercise. Take 3-4 days to lounge and de-stress. Then make a list of small house projects. Then put your schedule together. Your day should include no more than 4 hours looking for your next job. It needs to include a workout and something for your family. When those things are done each day, don't feel guilty for watching TV or enjoying your free time. Stay positive, we all get the silent treatment from potential employers along the way.

Hope it helps.

Your advice is great if the US economy was doing good. But with 2026 around the corner and layoffs increasing daily, finding a job is going to be really tough since competition for that one job has a very long line. People who are laid off and want to continue to work, need to update their resume, start applying, start training yourself on AI everything and anything, educate yourself on specific tools, take all the free certification courses you can and get certified. It takes only a few "key words" on your resume for the HR tools to pick your resume out of the thousands they are getting for a specific job opening. Otherwise, your resume won't even be considered. Also, get used to taking your initial interview with an AI bot that will not only take into account the way your reply to the question but will also look at your facial expression, your voice volume, your tone and facial muscle movements, and perhaps your hand expression. This is the new age of interview process. I know many of you haven't interviewed in over a decade, but this is the new process and competition is high. If you think I'm joking, than google it. You'll find video's on the topic. This is why lots of college grads are also having a tough time getting a job. Welcome to the age of AI interviews.
